Event Details
Known for hits such as ‘Bad to the Bone’, ‘Who Do You Love?’, and many more, George Thorogood and the Destroyers have been rocking for 50 years!
On the evening of December 1st, 1973, at The University of Delaware’s Lane Hall, a guitarist, a drummer, and their rhythm guitarist set up on the small bandstand. Though the three-piece band had barely rehearsed, guitarist George Thorogood and drummer Jeff Simon had been bashing out covers of songs they loved – including ‘No Particular Place To Go’, ‘Madison Blues’ and ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’ – in suburban Wilmington basements since they were teens. The Lane Hall audience was wary at first. “Then it was like somebody flipped a switch,” Simon recalls. “Everybody hit the dance floor all at once.”
“We had the place rockin’,” Thorogood says. “From that very first show, Jeff and I knew we were onto something.” Five decades, 15 million albums and more than 8,000 performances later, few bands can still rock the house like George Thorogood & Destroyers. And for Thorogood, Simon, and long-time Destroyers Bill Blough, Jim Suhler and Buddy Leach, their Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock Tour will be a celebration like no other.
Hamish Anderson will be opneing for George Thorogood! Named one of the Top 10 Best New Guitarists in the World (Total Guitar, 2018) Australia’s Roots Rock artist Hamish Anderson is thrilled to announce his return to the USA on tour with George Thorogood marking his FIRST shows in America since 2019!
